Talk:algunos

From WT:TR:

Adjective is listed as "plural of"... Does it work that way in Spanish? --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Spanish adjectives agree in number (and gender) with the modified nouns. The "dictionary" form of adjectives (and most nouns for people and animals) is the masculine singular. Just as the plurals of nouns should use {{plural of}}, so should adjectives. Likewise, the feminine forms of adjectives (and of most feminine nouns for people and animals) should use {{feminine of}}. (Of course, I created the entry in question, so my position may be discounted here to some extent.) Rod (A. Smith) 16:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Incidentally, algunos is also the plural of algún, which is the same word alguno as used before a noun. Should that be noted at all on this page? Davilla 16:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

No, no, I'm just trying to learn if I should be looking out for it or not. Thanks for the explanation! --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Regarding algún, I don't know whether to consider algún->algunos different from alguno (-> algún ) -> algunos. While we're at it, I'm not happy with my treatment of algún on "alguno" and on "algún". I thought of algún as another form of alguno, so I showed it indented after the inflection line but it doesn't look right. Rod (A. Smith) 17:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Weird that it's selective. The feminine and the feminine plural should also be entered of course. If ever the English entries get done, we might perhaps consider bots for all languages. — Vildricianus 18:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
